Cogentco - bad traffic again.

38.100.41.112

Cogentco is at it again. Actually now when you look up this IP address it doesn't say Cogentco anymore it says PSINet but same thing. They are hitting our sites with clearly garbage traffic. We've blocked them out and show a blatant error message but traffic persists.

It's pretty clear that the traffic in question is both automated and not valid as this particular IP: 38.100.41.112 has just hit all the pages in a site selling.

In June.

Cogentco / PSINet traffic is bad news. You may want to watch and potentially block it on your server.
